Hi Neighbours,
This is from Senior Constable Don Allan.....
Please forward on this weeks crime alert .
If you are a resident of Onehunga and would like to input into the “Low Traffic Neighbourhood” pilot Please follow this link ( or cut and paste it into your search bar) akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
I would like to encourage as many local residents as possible to comment on this project while reminding residents to please be patient and mindful of traffic safety in and around this area. There have been a number of complaints relating to bad driver behaviour in and around the project area on Grey St and Arthur St which are putting pedestrians at risk.
I am aware that there are many residents who are in objection to this project, however providing your feedback through the property and necessary channels is vital for a review and the right outcome for our community.
If you do have any immediate safety concerns, please feel free to contact me directly
Keep safe and remain vigilant.
Kind regards
Don

Latest scams to look out for 👀
Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:
NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe
NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.
Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.
